2. Pink Sparkles
If you love feminine, pink nails, then this nail design is exactly what you need. All nails have a pale pink base, then three are decorated with pink and silver stripes, stretching down from the tip of the nail, while the ring and little fingers are decorated with pink snowflakes – so pretty!
3. Winter Forest
This manicure is just exquisite and so unique too! Each nail begins with a snowy white base and is then decorated with winter fir trees, with some darker ones in the foreground and faded ones in the background to give the nails perspective. Gold foil finishes off the look, adding a touch of glamour.
4. Frozen Lake
Chrome nails are so popular at the moment, so why not go for a blue chrome to turn this trendy nail design into something more wintery? The nails are painted with a shiny icy blue chrome polish to create this striking, mirror-like finish that reminds us of a frozen lake.

This frosty manicure is exactly what you need for the winter season, and would work perfectly for the Christmas season too! Each nail features a different design, often beginning with a clear base and then decorated with white snowflakes, a blue glitter French tip, white diagonal lines, and a white French tip, apart from the little finger which is decorated with blue glitter.
8. Ice Cold
These nails have a glamorous, icy look with a white and silver color palette. The nails have a white base and are decorated with silver glitter, while the accent finger features chunky silver glitter at the tip, fading out as you move down the nail, ensuring a sparkling look.
